Seattle Magazine, May 2008
“This Métier shopper bag by Seattle-based designer Crystalyn Kae easily transforms from casual tote to stylish purse. Stash magazines, a water bottle, a map and your laptop for weekend roaming, or fold down the corners and snap shut for a more polished – but still roomy- “work” purse.”
I have bought several of these card cases. They are the perfect size to carry multiple gift cards, credit cards and even cash. I like to travel light and prefer small to medium crossbody bags for every day and when going out. These card cases slip right into my crossbody bags without the bulk of a wallet. They also come in fun colors and I love the Pearl snap and craftsmanship . I’ve also given a few away as gifts. Super fun and functional accessory.
I purchased my Hobo bag years ago in Melbourne Australia and recently purchased a replacement strap online. I LOVE this bag! I use it daily and the new strap is perfect and easy to attach. Crystalyn's customer service via online chat was so helpful and lovely. I highly recommend- spread the word!
After more than 10 years of almost daily use, here is my tribute to one tough bag! It's held up beautifully to trips across the world and through the washing machine. It's been sat on, spilled on, jumped on by pets, stuffed to the max or crammed into other luggage with no issues at all, and is still lovely, soft and shiny, zero problems with zippers and hardware. I'm retiring my bag (discontinued style) bc it's earned it and has finally started to show minor wear...after all this time. Signed, a happy (and now much older) customer.
Honestly, I've lost count how many glazed fabric Crystalyn Kae bags I own. This one was definitely a want, versus need. Even though I already have one of her round bags with vintage (Boeing) fabric, this print was too cute to pass up. I'll definitely be taking it out to some events in autumn.
I love these SO much! I use two, one for sunglasses and one for regular glasses. They are perfect for travel and everyday use. I love them SO much that I have given two as gifts and just bought four more! They are well constructed and designed. The fabrics are unique, stylish, and functional.
